No Charging but Protection: Lifetime Prolongation of Spontaneously‐polarized Electrets for Energy Harvesting Applications

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A bilayer protection approach is proposed for slowing down the surface potential decay of thin films of spontaneously‐polarized electret materials. The electret and the protective films are characterized, and the protection effectiveness is investigated under the effects of light illumination, water contact and mechanical impact.

Effects of Urban Obstructions on Spatial Daylight Autonomy (sDA) and Daylight Glare Probability (DGP) in Tropical Mid-rise Housings

Journal of Daylighting
The limited research on obstruction-driven daylight reduction continues to hinder efforts to optimize natural daylight in compact mid-rise residential buildings. This study systematically examines how features of nearby obstructions, such as height, surface reflectance, and distance, along with street width, affect indoor daylighting in tropical ...

Effect of epileptogenesis on hypercapnic cardioventilatory response in kainic acid rats

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Cardioventilatory failure is the leading mechanism proposed to underlie sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), which occurs predominantly at night in patients with generalized tonic–clonic seizures. Interictal hypercapnic cardioventilatory responses are suggested to be involved, as they are ablated in chronically epileptic ...
